night, asa framed Sherman resolution is
before it for consideration. The most in
tense interest was excited by Hon. Charles
Grosvenor of Athens rising to offer a reso-
luton as follows:
Recognizing that the republicans of Ohio
always have gifted and tried statesmen
of the republican. party loyal and
success Of the Organization @ 'n in 1883, u under der
whatever standard bearer the republican
national convention may select, they have
just pride in the record and career of
John Sherman as member of the republi-
can party and as statesman of fidelity,
large experience and great ability. His ca
the republican party. he has grown and
developed with the growth of the organiza-
ton. His genius and patriotism are
stamped upon the records of the party, the
strtutes and the constitution of the
country, and believing that his nomination
for the office of president would be wise
and judiciOuS, we respectfully present his
name to the people of the United States
as candidate and announce our hearty
and cordial support of him for that Office.
No sooner was this read than Col j. G.
Munson of GAINESVILLE arose and offered the
ultimatum of the anti-Sherman men in the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the hereby pledge the
united and enthusiastic support of the re-
publicans of Ohio to the nominee of the
next national republican convention, and
in this connection we call the attention of
the republicans of Ohio to the eminent SER
vices and splendid career of Hon. John
Sherman.
Both resolutions were referred without
debate. The convention adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow. The two resolutions
above given are now in the hands of the
committee on resolutions. The opponents
second resolution pass unanimously, but
declare that they will fight Grosvener's
resolution on the floor of the convention to
the bitter end. The committee went into
session at o'clock and will be at W ork
most of the night.
At II o'clock the committee on resolu-
tions passed the first Sherman resolution,
the one absolutely and unqualifiedly en-
dorsing Senator Sherman for the presi-
dency, by vote of IS to 8, which was af-
terward made unanimous. The platform
reaffirms the Dow law and favors such ad-
ditiOns thereto as seem to be demanded by
the enlightened spirit of the age and takes
strong protective lgrounds regarding the
tariff, and is emphatic in its condemnation
of the importation of foreign labor. 1t
condemns the democratic party of Ohio in
strong terms and on other points takes the
usual republican position.

The report Of the committee on platform
was the first business, and the platform as
forecast in last nights dispatches was
read. When at last the famous Shermen
endorsement resolution was reached cheer.
ing broke out again. A motion was made
to adopt the whole platform by acclama-
nation. it was done without a dissenting
voice.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported Hon. John Sherman for per.
manent chairman. The convention
cheered Senator Sherman to the echo.
AS he took the platform he said that
while he knew that at present his endorse
ment was purely a matter of sentiment
he valued the action of the committee as
much as though it assured his election. AT
the same time he recognized the fact that
the question rested with the districts not
